* Set by Kotono on Wed Dec 03 13:40:57
<Kotono> -----
<Kotono> OOC: Any prep that needs to be done or any questions?
<Pepo> OOC: do we have directions beyond 'it's in the woods'?
<Lucy> OOC: Info on Wilch, info on the Gem. Any other possible info there might be on the woods.
<Lucy> OOC: Also, presumably, a clear enough idea of where to greater teleport
<Veren > OOC: Just center of the woods they're going to teleport us to.
<Kotono> OOC: Pepo: 'fraid not. It's also a magical woods, so to be totally honest, it's possible the danged thing moves/has been moved there anyway. Lucy: Most of it's the glowing sort of things about a historical figure from the past: Great abjurer, founder of the library, lover of knowledge. Also lover of some sort of sorrow creature didn't work out well for anyone involved.  Main things survivors
<Kotono> have said is that there's undead. Not always the strongest, but a lot of them. Persistent.  They'll handle getting you there, the scroll's for you to get out with once you get the gem and escape.
<Kotono> OOC: Any others?
<Lucy> OOC: I'm still unclear on what else the gem can do aside from the abjuration focus, and whether its presence affects the environment in any way
<Lucy> OOC: Or even how we know we found it
<Pepo> OOC: we know we find it when we find a gem that's cerulean and magic. Dunno about the rest.
<Kotono> OOC: It's a big cerulean gem. To be brutally honest, it's very much a case of you'll know it when you see it. It's a great focus for abjuration magic, on the macro scale. If a wall of force works over perhaps 100ft, this gem is designed to make it work over thousands of feet.
<Lucy> OOC: Let's go~
<Kotono> ---
<Kotono> Soon enough you're gathered up by Rocky. After the customary last minute checks, the party is teleported. You stand on a dark, dim plane. The light of the glow is faint here, barely anything at all. Rocky snaps his fingers, dancing lights illuminating everything ahead. About 50ft ahead is the tree line of a misty forest. There's more light from it, a dim glow of fogginess. It's ethereal, almost,
<Kotono> with a faint blue shimmer that manifests here and there.
<Lucy> Quite excited at what she might find there, Lucy waves at Rocky and practically skips towards the woods. Eyes peeled, of course!
<Pepo> It looks quite nice really. The charm will surely wear off when the undead attack, so Pepo opts to remain hidden as best he can. 'Hopefully we will see each other within five days,' he tells Rocky, slinking forward into the darkness.
<Pepo> roll 1d20+34 stealth all the way
* Hatbot (~Hatbot@cpe-68-203-15-105.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #dunes
<Pepo> roll 1d20+34 stealth all the way
* Hatbot --> "Pepo rolls 1d20+34 stealth all the way and gets 36." 12 [1d20=2]
* Veren follows after Lucy, doing his best to blend with the shadows, changing his clothes to a brown and green to match the forest.
<Veren > roll 1d20+14 Stealth
* Hatbot --> "Veren rolls 1d20+14 Stealth and gets 15." 12 [1d20=1]
<Moore> Moore will just fly along invisible for now! OOC: I don't know if I need a stealth roll for that one.
<Kotono> OOC: No need for now since you're invisible.
<Kotono> The party heads on in. The forest is thick but not so thick to be impossible to pass. The terrain is difficult but nothing more. Once you're about 15ft in, Pepo's managed to step on a loud, crunchy leaf on the ground, Veren accidentally hit a tree with his foot and Lucy's skipping right on in. This gets the attention of things ahead. 30ft ahead you can see skeletons: Four of them in a line facing
<Kotono> you. They're slowly picking through the woods, coming right at you. They carry rusty weapons: A great sword, a dagger, a bow and a club. Notably, the bow is being held like a bludgeoning weapon. OOC: Init here. Stealth was not with the party.
<Kotono> "Time to lay the dead to rest!" Jetina cries loudly, gesturing with her sword.
<Pepo> roll 1d20+6+8
* Hatbot --> "Pepo rolls 1d20+6+8 and gets 26." 12 [1d20=12]
<Veren > roll 1d20+4+8 Init
* Hatbot --> "Veren rolls 1d20+4+8 Init and gets 13." 12 [1d20=1]
<Kotono> roll 1d20+12 (+8 Moore)
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 (+8 Moore) and gets 19." 12 [1d20=7]
<Kotono> OOC: Jetina there.
<Kotono> roll 1d20+5 skeleton 1

* Kotono changes topic to 'Pepo=Lucy(26)>Dagger Skeleton(24)>Club Skeleton(22)>Moore(20)>Jetina=Bow Skeleton(19)>Veren(13)>Great sword Skeleton(9) '
<Kotono> OOC: Open Pepo'n'Lucy. They're 30ft away, but not you are all in difficult terrain. Each square of movement costs double.
<Lucy> "Hmm, hmm, hmm." Lucy eyes the undead critically, before her wings come out and tear the skeletons to pieces!
<Lucy> roll 9d6 force ref DC25 half
* Hatbot --> "Lucy rolls 9d6 force ref DC25 half and gets 31." 12 [9d6=6, 5, 1, 3, 1, 6, 1, 3, 5]
<Kotono> roll 1d20+5
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+5 and gets 13." 12 [1d20=8]
<Kotono> roll 1d20+5
<Kotono> roll 1d20+5
<Kotono> roll 1d20+5
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+5 and gets 23." 12 [1d20=18]
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+5 and gets 17." 12 [1d20=12]
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+5 and gets 18." 12 [1d20=13]
<Kotono> OOC: Is wings stun or daze?
<Lucy> OOC: Daze
<Kotono> OOC: They're all dazed a round then. More coming.
<Kotono> The blast of winds sends gusts of force lacing through the skeletons. They're chipped and shredded, checked back as bone dust is sent flying from them in all directions. But they aren't down yet. OOC: Pepo.
<Pepo> Since they survived Lucy's attack, Pepo follows up with a wall of flame that rises up from the ground directly across the skeletal line! No heat is felt on this side but they're sure to get a cooking from it!
<Pepo> roll 1d100 wild surge 5+
* Hatbot --> "Pepo rolls 1d100 wild surge 5+ and gets 38." 12 [1d100=38]
<Pepo> roll 2d6+10 fire damage
* Hatbot --> "Pepo rolls 2d6+10 fire damage and gets 17." 12 [2d6=6, 1]
<Kotono> OOC: Is there a save on that damage?
<Pepo> OOC: sorry, ref half DC 21
<Kotono> roll 1d20+5
<Kotono> roll 1d20+5
<Kotono> roll 1d20+5
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+5 and gets 11." 12 [1d20=6]
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+5 and gets 24." 12 [1d20=19]
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+5 and gets 17." 12 [1d20=12]
<Kotono> roll 1d20+5
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+5 and gets 21." 12 [1d20=16]
* Kotono changes topic to 'Pepo=Lucy(26)>Dagger Skeleton(24)>Club Skeleton(22)>Moore(20)>Jetina(19)>Veren(13) '
<Kotono> The wall of flames engulfs the undead. The forest around it begins to smoke and burn as two fall, the other two up but burning before your eyes. As this happens...OOC: More.
<Kotono> Suddenly, behind the party the earth erupts. From it comes an old wooden coffin, decorated with faded paint patterns. The door of it flies off at the party, at Lucy in particular!
<Kotono> roll 1d20+7 AC?
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 AC? and gets 12." 12 [1d20=5]
<Lucy> OOC: 23
<Kotono> But Lucy glances back and rolls to the side, a nearby tree taking the coffin lid instead of her. The rest of the coffin crumbles before you, as a shambling mummy emerges. It raises wrapped hands up as it tries to pummel Lucy into submission.
<Kotono> roll 1d20+15
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15  and gets 22." 12 [1d20=7]
<Kotono> roll 1d20+10 AC?
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 AC? and gets 19." 12 [1d20=9]
<Lucy> OOC: 23
* Kotono changes topic to 'Pepo=Lucy(26)>Surprise Mummy(25)>Dagger Skeleton(24)>Club Skeleton(22)>Moore(20)>Jetina(19)>Veren(13) '
<Kotono> But Lucy is a hair too fast. She grabs a nearby tree and swings 'round and up it, letting the tree get hit instead. Where the tree is hit, wood crumbles to dust and sand. Meanwhile, the shambling and burnt dagger skeleton attempts to come forward, right through the wall of fire. OOC: It's damaged again then?
<Pepo> roll 2d6+12 I forgot fire gets +1 per die
* Hatbot --> "Pepo rolls 2d6+12 I forgot fire gets +1 per die and gets 17." 12 [2d6=3, 2]
<Pepo> OOC: DC 21 ref half
<Pepo> OOC: isn't it dazed actually?
<Kotono> OOC: So it is, dur. Nevermind.
<Kotono> OOC: Dagger and club skeleton aren't doing anything productive. More coming.
<Kotono> From above there is a rustle of leaves, before a rather large black bat comes plunging down at the party. It aims for Veren, giant vampire fangs out as it tries to latch onto him.
<Kotono> roll 1d20+10 dive AC?
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 dive AC? and gets 11." 12 [1d20=1]
* Kotono changes topic to 'Pepo=Lucy(26)>Surprise Mummy(25)>Dagger Skeleton(24)>Club Skeleton(22)>Blood Bat(21)>Moore(20)>Jetina(19)>Veren(13) '
<Veren > OOC: 26
<Kotono> But Veren parries it with the greatest of ease. Close up, he can see it's rotting and wretched, smelling horrid. Globs of black blood roil just beneath the surface of its bloated flesh. OOC: Moore, go.
<Moore> "Everyone, let's not lose this fight against these abominations!" Moore cries out to the others to bolster them! OOC: Inspire Courage, +2 to charm/fear and +2 to attack and damage rolls
<Kotono> "Got it!" Jetina withdraws her holy symbol, which crackles with electric light. "In the name of Qupan, rest! Never again trouble the living!" Waves of golden light come from her,  hitting all the undead hard.
<Kotono> roll 4d6+7
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 4d6+7 and gets 18." 12 [4d6=5, 2, 1, 3]
* Kotono changes topic to 'Pepo=Lucy(26)>Surprise Mummy(25)>Blood Bat(21)>Moore(20)>Jetina(19)>Veren(13) '
<Kotono> roll 1d20+8 Will mummy
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+8 Will mummy and gets 17." 12 [1d20=9]
<Kotono> roll 1d20+4 bat
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+4 bat and gets 23." 12 [1d20=19]
<Kotono> At the edge of it, the last two skeletons crumble to dust. The mummy smokes like a branch too close to Pepo's wall, while the blood bat leaks black blood all over. OOC: Ow. Veren, go.
* Veren moves to feint the giant bat thing, hoping to open it for a devastating attack!
<Veren > roll 1d20+19 Bluff
* Hatbot --> "Veren rolls 1d20+19 Bluff and gets 23." 12 [1d20=4]
<Kotono> roll 1d20+7
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 and gets 10." 12 [1d20=3]
<Veren > roll 1d20+13+2 ATK 1
* Hatbot --> "Veren rolls 1d20+13+2 ATK 1 and gets 22." 12 [1d20=7]
<Veren > roll 1d20+8+2 ATK 2
* Hatbot --> "Veren rolls 1d20+8+2 ATK 2 and gets 12." 12 [1d20=2]
<Kotono> OOC: One hit.
<Veren > roll 1d4+3+2+4d6 Damage
* Hatbot --> "Veren rolls 1d4+3+2+4d6 Damage and gets 23." 12 [1d4=2][4d6=5, 3, 5, 3]
* Kotono changes topic to 'Pepo=Lucy(26)>Surprise Mummy(25)>Moore(20)>Jetina(19)>Veren(13) '
> OOC: It's also flatfooted to everyone until its next round.
<Kotono> POP! The blood bat is skewered and bursts into black blood all over. Amid this, you can see something heavier and shiny fall from the ruptured body, hitting the ground. But meanwhile...OOC: Pepo'n'Lucy. Go.
<Pepo> Now focusing on the mummy, Pepo attempts to set it on fire while remaining hidden despite the lance of fire bursting out from around his position!
<Pepo> roll 1d20+16 ranged touch
* Hatbot --> "Pepo rolls 1d20+16 ranged touch and gets 36." 12 [1d20=20]
<Pepo> roll 1d100 5+ wild surge
* Hatbot --> "Pepo rolls 1d100 5+ wild surge and gets 25." 12 [1d100=25]
<Pepo> roll 5d6+5+2 augmented 3pp energy ray fire
* Hatbot --> "Pepo rolls 5d6+5+2 augmented 3pp energy ray fire and gets 29." 12 [5d6=6, 4, 6, 2, 4]
<Kotono> roll 29*1.5
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 29*1.5 and gets 43.5." 12
<Kotono> The flaming ray hits the mummy right on. It begins to burn, a high-pitched shrieking as sand and dust erupt out from it, like an overheated beaker. It crumbles before you, burning away into ruin. OOC: Free act for now. Loot post.
* Veren inspects the fallen object from the bat.
<Moore> Moore will cast a Detect Magic on it, just in case!
<Lucy> "I really should have learned fireball," Lucy laments, as a shadow forms around her body before resolving into translucent armor. She nods to herself, and then looks around for traces of magic.
<Pepo> 'I hope we do not face this level of resistance every step of the way,' Pepo says dubiously.
<Lucy> OOC: Shadow conjuration to cast greater mage armor, duration 9hr
<Veren > "You'll have plenty of time to study and learn it once the pirate invasion isn't looming."
<Lucy> "Oh, I don't know," she muses in response. "It is such a peasant's spell. No elegance in it."
> "Sounds like a project. Can't you improve it?"
<Lucy> "Certainly! An explosion of sound would be much better, or perhaps even force. But then it would no longer be fire and not burn down mummies, you see?"
* Veren shrugs and holds up his knife.
<Veren > "Unfortunately, I cannot relate."
<Lucy> "I could demonstrate the principles quite well once they show me their variant on the Spellpool, if you'd like?"
<Veren > "If you'd like an audience, I suppose I could assist you."
* Lucy tilts her head. "It might be nice. You'll need to praise my brilliance and skill if you want me to go to all this trouble, of course."
<Veren > "It has to work, first."
* Veren grins at Lucy.
<Kotono> The object looks to be a small, stone heart. It radiates faint magic. OOC: Spellcraft.
<Lucy> roll 1d20+17
* Hatbot --> "Lucy rolls 1d20+17 and gets 18." 12 [1d20=1]
<Moore> roll 1d20+13
* Hatbot --> "Moore rolls 1d20+13 and gets 26." 12 [1d20=13]
<Kotono> OOC: Nada for Lucy.
<Kotono> Moore can tell the heart is a focal point for the bat's enchantment. While of no practical value as is, it would be a useful component for making magical items.
<Moore> "Oh, Mister Kamhoff would like that." Moore says as he flies over to put it away in his backpack.
<Lucy> "If you say so," Lucy says dubiously, before glancing at the fire. If it's spreading, they really should take the time to put it out.
<Veren > OOC: I lack Profession: Firefighter sadly.
<Kotono> The fire's smoking and spreading. It's still pretty small, but it is burning.
<Lucy> "Does anyone have a handy spell to stop the fire before it burns down the forest?"
* Veren silently holds up his dagger in answer.
<Kotono> "I do," Jetina says, going over and praying near it. Gushes of water follow, quenching some as she repeats and repeats.
<Lucy> "Thank you," Lucy says politely, and checks out this block on divination for herself by trying to use her clairvoyance.
<Kotono> Lucy attempts clairvoyance...nothing happens. It's clear to Lucy that something is suppressing the spell.
<Lucy> "Huh." Nodding to herself, Lucy heads on deeper into the forest.
* Veren goes along, trying to stick to the shadows to hide... Hopefully better this time around.
<Pepo> Pepo proceeds.
<Kotono> roll 1d100+50\
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100+50\ and gets Error: Numeric values only." 12 [1d100=43]
<Kotono> OOC: 93 total.
<Kotono> The party travels perhaps 5 minutes in. The forest is slow going and mistier inside. Everything is an ethereal, pale white light lined with fog. As if you stride through the dreams of a dead nation, long since reduced to dust. Ahead you see a little clearing a cabin there. It's unremarkable - a well, a small outhouse besides it and a tree stump with an axe buried in the top. Besides it are several
<Kotono> stacks of firewood.
* Lucy heads into the cabin to take a closer look!
<Pepo> He doubts the gem is there, but there's no real reason to make a fuss so Pepo follows after her.
<Moore> Moore resumes being invisible for the time being.
* Veren follows, but takes a moment to inspect the well and axe before entering.
<Kotono> Veren examines the well. He can see no water within it, looks empty. The axe looks to be a good, solid hand axe, the sort used to cut wood. It has a worn leather strap over the grip.
<Kotono> Meanwhile, Lucy and company head into the cabin. On opening the door, the party (save Veren) sees...OOC: Will save, all but Veren. Mind-affecting enchantment.
* Veren raises an eyebrow at the axe, deciding it might be worth taking for work use if no one lives in the cabin.
<Pepo> roll 1d20+8 +2 if it's compulsion
* Hatbot --> "Pepo rolls 1d20+8 +2 if it's compulsion and gets 12." 12 [1d20=4]
<Moore> roll 1d20+10
* Hatbot --> "Moore rolls 1d20+10 and gets 17." 12 [1d20=7]
<Lucy> roll 1d20+5
* Hatbot --> "Lucy rolls 1d20+5 and gets 19." 12 [1d20=14]
<Kotono> OOC: Are you taking the axe, Veren, right now?
<Kotono> roll 1d20+10 Jetina
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 Jetina and gets 17." 12 [1d20=7]
<Veren > OOC: Not until we figure out if someone is actually living in the house. If not, I'll take it then.
<Kotono> Within, each you can see it is lined with b eds. Comfortable, warm beds. Each of you (save Veren) has an irresistible urge to go lie down and take a nap.
<Kotono> "Mmmm," Jetina looks on and steps in, starting to undo her armor. "Yes, I think a nap's about right," she says.
<Kotono> OOC: Okay then, Veren. Noted.
<Pepo> Pepo silently jumps up onto one of the beds, kneading it with his claws as he spins around before curling himself up and closing his eyes.
<Kotono> OOC: Pause lines there.
<Kotono> Pepo settles in. Suddenly...
<Kotono> roll 2d10+4 damage to Pepo and everyone can make a new save. Pepo gets a +4 bonus to this save.
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d10+4 damage to Pepo and everyone can make a new save. Pepo gets a +4 bonus to this save. and gets 14." 12 [2d10=2, 8]
<Kotono> roll 1d20+10 Jetina
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 Jetina and gets 17." 12 [1d20=7]
<Lucy> How ridiculous. But maybe there's something into that entire beauty sleep deal?
<Moore> roll 1d20+10
* Hatbot --> "Moore rolls 1d20+10 and gets 18." 12 [1d20=8]
<Lucy> roll 1d20+5
* Hatbot --> "Lucy rolls 1d20+5 and gets 8." 12 [1d20=3]
<Pepo> roll 1d20+12 +2 if compulsion
* Hatbot --> "Pepo rolls 1d20+12 +2 if compulsion and gets 25." 12 [1d20=13]
<Kotono> OOC: Something's happening, but finish your actions first, all but Pepo. I'll PM you something in a sec, Pepo.
* Lucy doesn't plan on undressing and just takes a seat on the centermost bed before fluffing the pillow carefully.
* Veren moves to look in on the others after having checked out the yard, being a little concerned at not hearing anything from them. Lucy's silence is odd, after all.
<Kotono> Jetina gets her gauntlets and breastplate off, working on her greaves and supporting armor next. She yawns as she works on those in the meantime. OOC: Moore?
<Moore> Moore politely covers and pats his mouth to stifle a yawn before flying over to find a bed and sit down on it.
<Pepo> "Mrowl!" Pepo's fur stands on end as he scrambles to get free of the bed, likely only getting himself caught up in the blankets even more. Such a wacky cat and his silly shenanigans!
<Pepo> roll 1d20+10 cmb to escape
* Hatbot --> "Pepo rolls 1d20+10 cmb to escape and gets 30." 12 [1d20=20]
<Kotono> But somehow, Pepo escapes! While the other seem to fail to notice it at all, Veren can see a bloodied Pepo escape from the...bed? Huh? OOC: Will Veren, +4 bonus. Mind affecting enchantment.
<Veren > roll 1d20+8+4+5 Will/Inspiration
* Hatbot --> "Veren rolls 1d20+8+4+5 Will/Inspiration and gets 37." 12 [1d20=20]
<Kotono> Veren blinks and the illusion falls for him too. He can see the cabin for what it is - as Lucy and Moore are chomped on as well.
<Kotono> roll 2d10+4 damage and Will save with a +4 bonus, both of you two.
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d10+4 damage and Will save with a +4 bonus, both of you two. and gets 15." 12 [2d10=4, 7]
<Veren > "What are you doing?! Get away from that thing!"
<Lucy> roll 1d20+9
* Hatbot --> "Lucy rolls 1d20+9 and gets 22." 12 [1d20=13]
<Moore> roll 1d20+14
* Hatbot --> "Moore rolls 1d20+14 and gets 31." 12 [1d20=17]
* Veren moves to drag the nearest person away from the 'beds.'
<Kotono> Now the illusion shatters for the other two, only leaving Jetina, who is down to her under padding and undergarments. "Lucy, do-" she asks, staring at the scene before her, bloodied friends and Veren calling out.
<Kotono> roll 1d20+14
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+14 and gets 28." 12 [1d20=14]
<Kotono> "Aaaaah! Qupan save us!" she yelps. OOC: Act all.
<Lucy> "Get Jetina out, Veren!" Lucy calls out, squirming out of the grasp of the mouth latched onto her.
<Kotono> OOC: CMB, Lucy.
<Pepo> Pepo just runs right back out the door. This was not a worthwhile detour at all!
<Lucy> roll 1d20+15 escape artist
* Hatbot --> "Lucy rolls 1d20+15 escape artist and gets 19." 12 [1d20=4]
* Veren grabs Jetina and tries to drag her to the door of the cabin.
<Kotono> OOC: Lemme wait on resolving that until Moore and Veren finish their actions, Lucy.
<Moore> "Ack!" Moore cries out as he tries to free himself and just get away from whatever it is!
<Kotono> OOC: CMB, Moore. Can use escape artist in place of it if that's higher.
<Moore> roll 1d20+10 Escape Artist via Bardic Knack then
* Hatbot --> "Moore rolls 1d20+10 Escape Artist via Bardic Knack then and gets 18." 12 [1d20=8]
<Kotono> As the others flee out, neither Lucy or Moore are able to escape! As they struggle with this...OOC: Damage incoming then init, since something else is about to happen.
<Kotono> roll 2d10+4 Lucy'n'moore
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d10+4 Lucy'n'moore and gets 21." 12 [2d10=8, 9]
<Veren > OOC: Once I get Jetina to the door, I'd go back in to help the others.
<Lucy> OOC: +8 on my escape artist for 27 total
<Moore> OOC: +8 to mine which is 26
<Kotono> With Moore's aura, the two are able to escape instead. They stumble out and away, out of the cabin. OOC: Off the hook for that second damage instance. Free act for now instead.
<Lucy> "Veren, please retrieve Jetina's armor," Lucy requests, looking around with her magical sight. "Jetina, seal up our wounds in case something chooses now to attack?"
<Kotono> OOC: Perception, all.
<Lucy> roll 1d20+21
* Hatbot --> "Lucy rolls 1d20+21 and gets 26." 12 [1d20=5]
* Veren gives Lucy a *look* at being ordered to go back into maw-hell, but turns to get the armor for Jetina's sake.
<Veren > roll 1d20+13 Perception
* Hatbot --> "Veren rolls 1d20+13 Perception and gets 14." 12 [1d20=1]
<Pepo> roll 1d20+17

<Kotono> As the party gets out, Pepo notices something - the axe in the wooden stump is rising up, dripping blood as it begins to sail right for Jetina. OOC: You get one action here, Pepo.
<Pepo> Pepo attempts to banish the axe... into the future!
<Pepo> OOC: DC 21 will save
<Kotono> OOC: CL check.
<Pepo> roll 1d20+9
* Hatbot --> "Pepo rolls 1d20+9 and gets 22." 12 [1d20=13]
<Kotono> roll 1d20+8
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+8 and gets 17." 12 [1d20=9]
<Kotono> The axe suddenly blinks and vanishes. OOC: Act for now, everyone.
<Lucy> "Sooner rather than later."
<Pepo> 'That axe was coming for us. I suggest everyone move to the other side of the stump,' Pepo says before it can reappear and continue its deadly mission.
<Moore> Moore looks around but flies in the direction Pepo indicates. "What in the world is that thing...?" Moore wonders aloud.
* Veren pauses for a moment, but goes inside to get Jetina's armor.
<Lucy> 'Certainly,' Lucy responds to Pepo, and moves over as she resolves to be more alert to her surroundings.
<Kotono> Jetina eeps and covers herself, despite being covered by her under padding and clothes. "I hate the undead! Hate, hate, hate, hate!" she hurries along to the other side of the stump.
<Kotono> OOC: Link me to that power, Pepo?

<Kotono> roll 1d20+2
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 and gets 18." 12 [1d20=16]
<Lucy> "Is being in your underwear some sort of traumatic childhood memory for you?" Lucy asks Jetina. "Because we're all bleeding after we got bitten on and things are trying to kill us, so I would suggest focusing on that first."
<Kotono> Veren gathers up Jetina's armor in the hell house, while the others get to the other side. Which is good, since moments later the axe reappears. It's momentum carries to where Jetina's neck would've been, before it stops. The axe floats in midair as...OOC: Init.
<Moore> roll 1d20+5+8
* Hatbot --> "Moore rolls 1d20+5+8 and gets 27." 12 [1d20=14]
<Kotono> OOC: Actually we're at pause time so we'll pause here, typos and all. We'll start with init tomorrow
